The value story

Across all 103 discounts in the 10 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 10 percent on value. It is cheaper than 78 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 80 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Golf Around! ($9.99, scores 67) beats it on value, while it beats Wordle ($3.06, scores 51).
